Yes I relate to country, and so would anyone that didn't listen to that fake-twangy bull shite they play on the radio. Some of the better lyrics from any genre are country, just not necessarily the type that gets much attention. Listen to someone like TVZ or Jamey Johnson and actually pay attention to the lyrics. Anyone can relate to the emotions they're describing, not just someone that drives a jacked up four wheel drive and spends his days off at the plant fixing said truck while dipping.

I don't like contemporary country music, save some of the 90's stuff I listened to as a kid. However, Woody Guthrie, if you can call his music country, is a fav due to the political nature of his songs. Give him a try: Woody Guthrie - Jesus Christ
